One Direction Preferences

Preference #67: You defend him (Niall) and new cowriter :)

Hey you guys! I'm Jackie (@niallsprincess232677)! I'm cowriting the preferences while she's on bed rest and this is my first preference. I only had time to do this one, because I'm back in school. But I promise I'll do the rest later. :) Message me and follow me if you want to. :) Any requests or ideas are gratefully accepted. :) Thank you!

You defend him

Niall: you were pretty well known to the fandom as you were dating Niall Horan. You two had been dating for about 6 months now and he decided to make it public on your 3 month anniversary. Today, you were going out to Starbucks with a few friends from secondary school. As expected, you met a few fans. There were three of them. Two were open to talk to you and your friends, and the other just stood there quietly. When you caught her staring at you with an intent look on her face, you spoke up. "You don't have to be shy. I won't bite. I mean, I'm pretty hungry, but still," you giggled, "I'm (Y/N)."
"I'm Mariah. I'm not really shy. I was just thinking, you're really pretty. But why would you date that pig Niall? I mean, you'd just be sooooo much cuter with Louis." You'd had it. You could deal with hate towards you, but not Niall. You loved him, even if he didn't know it yet. You look at her with disgust, raise your hand, and without even thinking about it, let your hand strike her cheek, leaving her face as red as a tomato. "Call me ugly, fat, untalented, worthless, I couldn't care less! But don't you ever, EVER talk about Niall that way! I don't care if you hate me now. I love him, and I will NOT tolerate any of that bullshit from somebody who clearly doesn't know who a great person is," you almost yell. You see the other girls giggle and their cameras are on you. "What's funny?" You ask. "A) she's not even our friend. B) we just got that all on video." They giggle again. You hug them, then look back at Mariah. You smirk at her and walk away with your middle finger held high.
-Once you get home-
As you sit on the couch at yours and Niall's shared home, you suddenly break down in tears. You've never physically fought with another human being. You started to feel bad that you slapped her. She did deserve an ass whooping, but you'd never been in that intense of a situation. You were so overwhelmed and didn't know how to cope. What made your sobs the loudest was when you thought about how somebody could dislike Niall so much. He was sweet, caring, and the most lovable person you'd ever met. Sure, he wasn't perfect, but he was perfect to you. You had strong feelings for him. You always have, seeing as you were once a directioner and still are. Your sobs were so uncontrollably loud that you hadn't heard Niall come in. You felt the couch dip beside you and those strong, welcoming arms wrapped around you. He held you and kissed away your tears. "I love you." He whispered, and that's all it took for you to crawl onto his lap and hug him, never wanting to let him go. How could somebody hate him? It didn't matter anymore. You loved him, he loved you, and that's all you cared about.
